Color Throwdown 640-Sending Hugs Your Way

It's time for another Color Throwdown! Wanda is our hostess with a floral inspired color combination-- pink, coral, and green.

I paired the colors with the current Mojo Monday sketch and stamps and dies from Avery Elle. I built my card on a pink card base topped with a green panel. The top of the green panel was covered with panel of green patterned paper cut on an angle. I added a wide strip of pink cardstock matching the card base over the two green pieces, then positioned a shiny narrow strip of gold foil cardstock on the left side of the pink paper. My focal panel shows off a sentiment from the Simply Said Hugs stamps and dies. I die cut the "hugs" from coral and pink cardstock. The pink detailed text was layered on top of the wider coral background. It's hard to see in the photo, but I cut the word "hugs" several times and stacked the diecuts for dimension. The "sending" and "your way" sentiments were stamped in gold pigment ink above and below the die cut word and heat embossed in gold to complete the design.

To play along, just create a paper crafted project using these colors as a starting point and add a direct link to your finished project using the linky tool found at the end of this week's CTD post.  As always, if you don’t have exact color matches, something close works just fine.  Just be sure that the challenge colors are the dominant ones in your project.  And, if you upload your project to an online gallery, use the keyword CTD640.  If you upload your projects on social media, go ahead and use the hashtag #ctd640 and #colorthrowdown.  You can find us on Instagram and on Facebook with the username colorthrowdown.  Before you get started, here’s some inspiration from the talented Color Throwdown team and this week's guest star stamper Misti Oblander.
